No more music academy in Solothurn
The Solothurn Music Academy at Waldegg Castle is no longer being continued. The 2012 edition was the last. However, the series was held for longer than originally planned.
The Solothurn Music Academy was launched in 1999 and had its first edition in 2000 at Waldegg Castle in Feldbrunnen-St. Niklaus, close to the city of Solothurn. According to a report in the "Solothurner Zeitung", the plan at the time was to run for ten years.
Due to its great success, the series was continued beyond the scheduled time.
"Personnel changes, new spatial conditions at Schloss Waldegg and the fact that the Solothurn Music Academy has been at its peak in recent years" have now led to the decision to discontinue the program, the "Solothurner Zeitung" continues.
